Focusing closely on the theme of advancing Chinese modernization, the plenum systematically laid out strategic measures for further comprehensively deepening reform, and will surely provide strong impetus and institutional guarantees for Chinese modernization. We must thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the plenum, consciously unify our thinking and actions with the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, and with an enterprising spirit and the courage to pioneer and tackle difficulties, earnestly shoulder the mission of further comprehensively deepening reform and advancing Chinese modernization, and accelerate Gansu's practice of Chinese modernization in the course of further comprehensively deepening reform.

　Anchoring the correct direction and holding high the banner to further comprehensively deepen reform

The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Advancing Chinese Modernization (hereinafter referred to as the Decision), adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, is a general mobilization and general deployment for advancing comprehensive deepening of reform in breadth and depth on the new journey of the new era, and is a programmatic document guiding further comprehensive deepening of reform on the new journey. We must hold high the great banner of reform and opening up, accurately grasp the essence of the spirit of the Decision, transform the strategic deployment of further comprehensively deepening reform into a powerful force for advancing Chinese modernization, and unswervingly carry reform through to the end.

Strengthen confidence in grasping the brilliant achievements. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has, with unprecedented determination and intensity, resolutely broken down institutional and mechanistic drawbacks in all areas, launched a new journey of comprehensively deepening reform and systematically and holistically designing and advancing reform in the new era, and driven the cause of the Party and the country to historic achievements and historic changes. Reviewing the course of development in Longyuan, we deeply feel that the reason Gansu has the good situation it enjoys today is fundamentally due to reform; and the key for Gansu to keep pace with the overall process of national modernization in the future also lies in reform. We must firm up confidence, bravely stand at the forefront, firmly establish the orientation of strengthening the province through reform, and strive to write a practical sequel and a new chapter of the times for reform.

Maintain resolve in grasping the distinct theme. The Decision adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee lays out strategic measures for further comprehensively deepening reform closely around the theme of advancing Chinese modernization. Chinese modernization is a grand and unique innovation in human history, and problems in development must be solved through reform. We must maintain strategic resolve, keep our eyes fixed on the goal without relaxation, continuously emancipate our minds, straighten out institutions and mechanisms, and inject inexhaustible impetus into Gansu's practice of advancing Chinese modernization.

Seize the initiative in grasping valuable experience. At the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, the valuable experience of reform and opening up, especially of comprehensively deepening reform in the new era, was profoundly summarized through the "six persistences," deepening our Party's understanding of the laws of reform. We must deeply understand the connotation and essence of the "six persistences," implement them throughout all fields, all links, and the entire process of further comprehensively deepening reform, enhance the scientific nature, foresight, initiative, and creativity of further comprehensively deepening reform, and continuously win the initiative, win advantages, and win the future.

Temper determination in grasping the grand deployment. The Decision puts forward more than 300 important reform measures, covering all aspects of advancing Chinese modernization and drawing a panoramic picture of further comprehensively deepening reform. Standing at a new starting point, for Gansu to blaze a new path of reform and development, it must consciously act in the overall situation, implement the arrangements and requirements of the Party Central Committee to the letter, and strive to both win glory for its own region and add luster to the overall situation.

　Comprehend the great power of thought and unswervingly further comprehensively deepen reform

Entering the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping has creatively put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints, and new judgments, providing ideological guidance and fundamental compliance for comprehensively deepening reform. We must thoroughly study and comprehend Xi Jinping's series of new ideas, new viewpoints, and new judgments on comprehensively deepening reform, continuously transform the great power of thought into powerful practical strength, and win new victories in further comprehensively deepening reform.

Gather surging strength in comprehending the historical logic. Looking back on China's thousands of years of history, change has exerted a profound impact on social development. Comprehensively deepening reform not only has prominent characteristics of the times but also has deep historical origins. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Our reform is a reform that keeps advancing on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics; we will neither take the old path of isolation and rigidity nor the evil path of changing banners." Standing at a new historical starting point, we must, with the historical initiative to forge ahead and continuous struggle pursued consistently, inspire the heroic spirit of further comprehensively deepening reform and continue to create brilliant achievements in Chinese modernization.

Enhance action consciousness in comprehending scientific methods. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Reform and opening up is an entirely new undertaking without precedent, and we must adhere to the correct methodology and advance it through continuous practice and exploration." In the great changes of the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping has deeply grasped the laws of reform and creatively proposed scientific methods and effective paths for comprehensively deepening reform, forming the richest, most comprehensive, and most systematic reform methodology since reform and opening up. Under the guidance of the scientific methodology expounded by General Secretary Xi Jinping, we must accurately grasp the new opportunities, new challenges, and new missions faced by further comprehensively deepening reform, and promote reform to continuously achieve new results.

Stimulate powerful momentum in comprehending practical requirements. The new round of reform has entered deep waters, and the complexity of the contradictions involved has markedly increased compared with the past, with more hard bones to chew. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "To turn the blueprint of Chinese modernization into reality, the fundamental task is to further comprehensively deepen reform, continuously improve institutions and mechanisms in all areas, and provide institutional guarantees for advancing Chinese modernization." In the face of the complex international and domestic situation, the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and the new expectations of the people, we must continue to push reform forward. We must continue to deepen reform in key areas and crucial links, strive to build a more complete, more stable, and more effective institutional system, rely on the important magic weapon of reform and opening up to solve development problems and shape development advantages, and continuously stabilize the overall situation, respond to changes, and open up new prospects.

　　Grasp major relationships and further comprehensively deepen reform through overall coordination

Further comprehensively deepening reform is a complex systematic project, and we must pay more attention to systematic integration, to highlighting key points, and to the effectiveness of reform, promoting mutual coordination of various reform measures in policy orientation, mutual reinforcement in the implementation process, and mutual enhancement in reform results.

Handle the relationship between the "upper" and "lower" levels. Further comprehensively deepening reform requires linkage between the "upper" and "lower" levels. On the one hand, we must keep the overall situation in mind, strictly follow top-level design, and meticulously organize reform implementation; on the other hand, we must adhere to pilot projects first, encourage grassroots initiative, and continuously create and summarize fresh experience. We must achieve organic connection between top-down and bottom-up approaches.

Handle the relationship between "points" and "areas." Reform is the integration of changes and innovations in all fields; piecemeal adjustments will not do, nor will fragmented patching. We must adhere to the unity of the two-point theory and the focus theory, both highlighting overall advancement so that various reforms coordinate with each other and are efficient in synergy, and highlighting breakthroughs at key points, targeting the crucial links where "one move affects the whole situation," finding the right entry point and the right foothold, and using points to drive areas to enhance the effectiveness of reform.

Handle the relationship between "establishing" and "breaking." Reform involves both breaking and establishing, and with the right method, results are achieved with half the effort. We must adhere to advancing both establishment and breaking, establishing first and then breaking, reasonably arrange the sequence, rhythm, and timing of reform measures, steadily and orderly advance key, strategic, and牵引性 reform matters, continuously stimulate the vitality of economic and social development, and effectively respond to the people's practical concerns.

Handle the relationship between "unified" and "separate." General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "In comprehensively deepening reform, we cannot go at it haphazardly like banging here and there with a hammer." For local areas, it is necessary to follow the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, formulate reform construction drawings, timetables, and task books according to regional and departmental realities, and ensure the implementation of major reform tasks. At the same time, it is necessary to break down departmental and local barriers and promote coordinated and integrated advancement of work in all fields and aspects.

Handle the relationship between "reform" and "stability." We must coordinate "daring to venture and try" with "keeping steady steps," both daring to wade into dangerous shoals and deep waters, and resolutely reforming fields and links involving wide scope, many contradictions, and great difficulty; and properly balancing the relationship among the intensity of reform, the speed of development, and the degree of social affordability, repeatedly deliberating, fully demonstrating, making scientific decisions, and steadily advancing key reform matters, promoting benign interaction between reform and stability.

　　Temper the character of responsibility and further comprehensively deepen reform with cohesion and concerted effort

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Comprehensively deepening reform covers a wide range, and major reform measures may affect the whole situation with a single move, so we must be extremely cautious." We must thoroughly study and comprehend Xi Jinping's series of new ideas, new viewpoints, and new judgments on comprehensively deepening reform, thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, gather cohesion to further comprehensively deepen reform, and strive to write the Gansu chapter of Chinese modernization.

Promote reform with a high degree of political consciousness. We must deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishments," resolutely achieve the "two upholds," adhere to and strengthen the overall leadership of the Party, and organize implementation according to the reform direction, goals, tasks, and paths defined by the Party Central Committee, ensuring that reform is grasped in hand and carried on the shoulders. We must effectively tighten and compact the main responsibility for reform, guide and urge Party members and leading cadres, especially the "top leaders," to strengthen political responsibility and interpret absolute loyalty to the Party with reform achievements. We must vigorously carry forward the spirit of reform and innovation, guide Party members and cadres to display the courage to open roads through mountains and build bridges over rivers, actively devote themselves to Longyuan's reform practice, and submit an excellent answer sheet to the Party Central Committee and the people of the whole province.

Promote reform with a broad overall vision. We must resolutely shoulder the important mission entrusted to Gansu by the Party and the state, and highlight Gansu's important functional positioning in the overall national situation in the course of further comprehensively deepening reform. We must deepen the reform of the ecological civilization system, focus on implementing the national strategy for the Yellow River, the "dual carbon" work, and advancing ecological and environmental governance in the Qilian Mountains, fight landmark battles in green transformation, pollution prevention and control, ecological restoration, land greening, water management and water conservancy, desertification prevention and control, and environmental safety, and effectively build a solid national ecological security barrier in western China. We must improve the institutions and mechanisms for high-level opening up, deeply integrate into high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, accelerate the development of an export-oriented economy, and comprehensively improve the quality and effectiveness of opening up. We must improve the institutions and mechanisms for safeguarding national security, deeply advance proactive security creation and proactive stability maintenance, weave a dense and solid protective net for safe development, and make positive contributions to the overall national security situation.

Promote reform with a clear problem orientation. We must keep a close eye on the deep-seated institutional and mechanistic obstacles and structural contradictions constraining the province's development, make good use of a "combination punch" of reforms, and comprehensively enhance the driving force of development. We must strive to solve institutional and mechanistic problems affecting high-quality economic development, cultivate and develop new quality productive forces, accelerate the advancement of new industrialization, continue to deepen the reform of state-owned capital and state-owned enterprises, support and strengthen the private economy, remove institutional and mechanistic obstacles affecting the business environment, create better conditions for undertaking industrial transfer from the east and central regions, and continuously consolidate the good momentum of economic development. We must strive to solve institutional and mechanistic problems constraining the integrated development of urban and rural areas, accelerate the advancement of urbanization with county seats as important carriers, consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation, firmly hold the bottom line of food security, build livable, workable, and beautiful villages, establish a benign interaction mechanism for industrial upgrading, population agglomeration, and urban development, and gradually narrow the urban-rural development gap. We must strive to solve institutional and mechanistic problems affecting the integrated development of culture and tourism, deeply tap the contemporary value of ancestral culture, Yellow River culture, farming culture, Dunhuang culture, Silk Road culture, and red culture, improve the cultural industry system, strengthen the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, and build a world-class tourist destination.

Promote reform with deep feelings for the people. We must actively respond to the new expectations of the people of Longyuan for a better life, take promoting social fairness and justice and enhancing people's well-being as the starting point and foothold of further comprehensively deepening reform, and ensure that where the people call, reform responds. We must improve the employment-first policy, improve the mechanism for promoting high-quality full employment, and form an institutional system that effectively increases the income of low-income groups, steadily expands the size of the middle-income group, and reasonably regulates excessively high incomes; improve the public service system, increase the supply of high-quality educational resources, promote the expansion and downward extension of high-quality medical resources and balanced regional layout, improve systems such as critical illness insurance and medical assistance, meet the people's housing needs through both renting and purchasing, and accurately and solidly secure the bottom line of livelihood security; improve the population development support and service system, advance mutual-aid elderly care services, promote the integration of medical care and elderly care, vigorously develop the silver economy, deeply advance the "Pairing Assistance · Caring Gansu" project, protect the legitimate rights and interests of women and children, let the people have a greater sense of gain, happiness, and security, and continuously open up a new situation in building a modern socialist happy and beautiful new Gansu.
